GET + object + past participle

This structure has the same meaning as have + object + past participle, but get is more informal:

I got my hair cut this morning.
Could you get this jacket cleaned?
They finally got the car serviced.

It can also be used to express accidents or misfortunes happening to someone in the same way as have + object + past participle can:

I got my bike stolen. (My bike was stolen.)
He got his leg broken in a car crash.
(His leg was broken in a car crash.)
